I got my first ever facial with Stephenie. My neighbors raved about her so I took the plunge. I was a little nervous but she immediately put me at ease. Her room was so calming so I was able to enjoy every minute. It was AMAZING. I strongly recommend Stephanie and I will be back very soon!

Clear Congestion and Improve Skin Texture with a Back Facial

Work directly with a licensed medical aesthetician who tailors each treatment based on your skin type and acne severity. Every facial is designed to address congestion while supporting overall skin health.

What Is a Back Facial & How Does It Work?

A back facial is a professional skin treatment that applies the same multi-step process used in traditional facial treatments: cleansing, exfoliation, steam, extractions, a clarifying mask, and hydration: but focuses entirely on the back from the neck to the lower back.

The back contains a high concentration of sebaceous glands, which means oil production is elevated compared with most other areas of the body. Sweat, friction from clothing, and buildup of dead skin cells can easily clog pores and lead to recurring breakouts.

Because the back is difficult to reach and treat properly at home, congestion can accumulate over time. A professional back facial clears clogged pores and removes buildup using techniques and tools that are not available in typical at-home skincare routines.

Benefits of a Back Facial

When congestion has built up over time, surface products often address only the outer layer of the skin. A back facial works deeper at the level of the pore.

Benefits include:

  • Deep cleansing of clogged back pores
  • Reduction of back acne (bacne) breakouts
  • Smoother skin texture across shoulders and upper back
  • Improved skin clarity and tone
  • Less oil buildup between treatments
  • Skin that feels noticeably smoother when wearing clothing

Who Should Get a Back Facial?

A back facial is ideal for people who experience:

  • recurring back acne or “bacne”
  • clogged pores or blackheads across the shoulders and back
  • rough or bumpy skin texture
  • persistent congestion caused by sweat, workouts, or heat

People who exercise frequently or spend time outdoors in Scottsdale’s hot desert climate often experience more buildup from sweat and friction.

This treatment is also popular for clients preparing for events such as:

  • weddings
  • vacations
  • photoshoots
  • beach or pool season

Before You Book

Clients with severe cystic acne, open wounds, or active skin infections should speak with Stephenie before booking so the treatment can be evaluated for safety.

What Causes Back Acne?

Back acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The back produces more oil than many other areas of the body, which increases the likelihood of congestion.

Common contributors include:

  • excess oil production
  • sweat and friction from clothing
  • hormonal fluctuations
  • buildup of dead skin cells
  • pore-clogging body products

In warm climates like Scottsdale, sweat and humidity can further accelerate congestion by creating an environment where bacteria thrive.

Understanding what is causing your breakouts helps determine the best treatment approach.

Back Acne vs Facial Acne

Back acne forms for many of the same reasons as facial acne, but the back has thicker skin and produces more oil. It is also exposed to additional triggers like sweat, clothing friction, and workout equipment.

Because the area is difficult to see and reach properly, buildup tends to accumulate faster than it does on the face. Professional treatments such as back facials allow clogged pores to be cleared safely and effectively.

Clients dealing with breakouts on the face as well may benefit from combining this treatment with an acne facial.

Preparing for a trip, event, or time in the sun? A back facial can help improve skin clarity and texture so you feel more confident.

What to Expect During Your Back Facial Treatment in Scottsdale

A deep cleansing back facial typically lasts 45–60 minutes.

1

Cleansing

A professional cleanser removes surface oil, sweat, and product residue.

2

Exfoliation

A physical or chemical exfoliant removes dead skin cells and loosens buildup inside the pores.

3

Steam Treatment

Warm steam softens the skin and prepares pores for extractions.

4

Extractions (When Appropriate)

Clogged pores and blackheads are manually cleared using professional extraction tools.

5

Clarifying Mask

A targeted mask helps reduce bacteria, calm inflammation, and absorb excess oil.

6

Hydration and Soothing Treatment

A hydrating serum or calming moisturizer restores balance to the skin.

Treatment time: 45–60 minutes

Downtime: Minimal

Some mild redness may appear after extractions but typically fades within a few hours.

Results You Can Expect from a Back Facial

Many clients notice cleaner-feeling skin and reduced congestion after their first session. More noticeable improvements occur with consistent treatments.

Over time, regular back facials can help:

  • Reduce recurring back acne
  • Improve overall skin texture
  • Minimize clogged pores
  • Maintain clearer skin between workouts or outdoor activities

Because each appointment is customized, the treatment approach may evolve as your skin improves.

.

How Often Should You Get a Back Facial?

Most clients benefit from treatments every 2-3 weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle.

Starting closer to every two weeks is often recommended if back acne is currently active. Once the skin improves, treatments can usually be spaced further apart.

Maintaining consistent appointments helps prevent congestion from building up again.

Back Facial Cost in Scottsdale

Back facial treatments at Skin Results are priced between $120 and $200 per session, depending on the condition of the skin and whether additional steps are required. New clients receive $50 off their first treatment!

Treatments Performed by a Licensed Medical Aesthetician

All back facial treatments at Skin Results are performed by Stephenie DeMasseo, a licensed medical aesthetician with extensive experience treating acne-prone skin.

Each treatment is customized based on:

  • Skin type
  • Severity of back acne
  • Sensitivity level
  • Congestion level at the time of the appointment

This personalized approach allows the treatment to address the underlying causes of congestion, not just the visible breakouts.
